"I teach in a holistic manner which inspires the senses. The piano is played with the entire body-not just the hands. Teaching the piano is training a musician, covering aural awareness, rhythm work, notation, technique and playing expressively. Only when all aspects of playing are covered does it form a well rounded musician. Music is a universal language- learn to speak it"- Claire-Ann
